When is a good time to bargain for these new E90s? It's only been almost 3 weeks since it was released in the U.S. and no dealer is selling it less than 1k off MSRP.

My friend told me that I should always aim for 3% above invoice price or 10% off the MSRP. Is that one of the buying guidelines that is accepted? He told me if i wait a few months I can probably get the 330i w/ Sports and Premium for $40,000 opposed to the deal I got for just the Sports for $40,000.

input / feedbacks are welcomed.
thanks!

I'm assuming you are NOT talking about doing ED, right? If so, haven't a lot of people on this site said they've gotten anywhere from $1500 to $2000 off MSRP?

Last week I ordered a 330 sport, prem, and heat for 40k and it was a very easy deal. I dont even need to trade my car. Cash deal.

Check out the prices paid topic--I think you will find a few deals at more than $1k off MSRP.
